Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 367: Offering Prisoners

In early April, the most discussed matter in Chang'an City was the sacrifice of prisoners by Fan Yang and Jiannan. Some people wanted to see what would happen to Ge Luofenghui who dared to betray the Tang Dynasty, and some wanted to see what treasures Hu'er would offer. Strange beasts come.

Li Linfu's rebellion case was originally in full swing, but suddenly stopped. Yang Qixuan was inevitably angry because he missed the opportunity to bring his beauty home.

Not long after, he even heard that Xue Bai had taken Li Tengkong home, and his anger turned into resentment. He secretly scolded Xue Bai for always meddling in his own business at home. No wonder everyone in the court was disgusted with him.

But when it comes to how to deal with it, all he can do is go to Yang Guozhong and try to instigate Yang Guozhong to take action.

"Right Prime Minister, Xue Bai dares to oppose you as soon as he returns to court. He is arrogant and will develop into a serious problem sooner or later."

Recently, Yang Guozhong was annoyed because An Lushan had robbed him of his glory. Hearing this, he looked at him a few times.

"I want to ask you, since I ordered you to let Li Qiniang go, why did you have to take her to the Shaofu Prison that day?"

Yang Qixuan was good at deceiving superiors and subordinates. He had already thought of his excuse and pretended to be surprised: "I told the officials about this matter. They thought it was inappropriate to release one person first and planned to go to the Shaofu Prison before releasing him. Okay." Are you shirking responsibility?"

This was a common occurrence in officialdom. Yang Guozhong was accustomed to it and was too lazy to pursue it further.

As for Xue Bai, he was also dissatisfied, but the case of Li Linfu's death did not touch the core interests, and it was not enough to turn the two sides against each other. There will be a chance for both of them to work together to deal with An Lushan in the future.

He then said: "The truth is not as narrow-minded as asking for a fighting cock. It's useless for you to slander me here. Just take care of yourself."

Yang Qixuan was very disappointed. After much deliberation, he could only think of a crude way - to kidnap Li Jilan and Li Tengkong directly.

Things have progressed to this point. If they disappear, others will definitely suspect that Xue Bai did something.

Thinking that he was sitting on two beauties, able to take whatever they wanted, his heart became hot, and he felt more and more that this crude method was quite feasible.

Unfortunately, the enemy was on a narrow road, and before he could take action, the next day, he went to Zhongshu's subordinate department to oversee matters, and met Xue Bai.

The admonishing officials were responsible for admonishing and discussing the court's gains and losses, and were subordinate to the Menxia Province; while the Zhongshu Sheren were responsible for spreading imperial edicts and were subordinate to the Zhongshu Province. Coincidentally, Zhongshu's sect was merged into the same government office.

Therefore, Yang Qixuan and Xue Bai will probably see each other more often in the future.

He was completely unprepared for this. He entered the government office early that morning and saw Xue Bai setting up a table in the front yard and standing behind the table polishing ink, as if he wanted to work as a receptionist in the government office. Concierge with gift money.

At first sight, Yang Qixuan was startled and quickly turned his head to avoid it.

There were people coming and going around, so it was not easy to notice, but Xue Bai just called him.

"Yang Qixuan."

When Yang Qixuan heard the words, he stiffened and took two deep breaths, reminding himself not to be carried away by anger and to deal with it calmly.

When he turned around again, he had a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be Xue Lang, but now he is from Xue She. Have you come to Shangya today to see the Prime Minister? Shall I take you there?"

He felt that he was much more elegant than Xue Bai. As an important official of the imperial court, you should maintain etiquette even in the presence of the enemy who killed your father. How can you call him by his first name like Xue Bai did just now?

But Xue Bai still had a straight face, beckoning him condescendingly, asking him to come forward, and said, "I want to ask you a few words."

Yang Qixuan was a little confused and said: "Xue Lang, just ask."

"You accuse Li Linfu and Li Xianzhong of conspiring to rebel. Do you have any evidence?"

"This..." Yang Qixuan frowned and said, "This is a confidential matter. I'm afraid you shouldn't ask more questions, right?"

Xue Bai took out a small scroll from his sleeve and said calmly: "The saint sent me to inquire about this case. This is the purpose. Now I am doing a routine matter. Please cooperate."

His words were quite fresh, and he said them in such a serious tone that people could not help but feel a sense of majesty.

Officials were walking around and glanced here from time to time, and they all saw this scene.

Yang Qixuan's momentum was suppressed and he was depressed. He could only respond: "The evidence is what An Lushan submitted to the court."

"Which?"

"Some official documents, maps, letters, etc."

"How did you find out?"

"I used to be Li Linfu's son-in-law, once." Yang Qixuan emphasized again, clarifying the relationship, and then said: "Occasionally, I happened to hear their secret plan. Li Linfu said that he had sole power and let Li Xianzhong accumulate strength in the border town. We can expect great things in the future.”

"What year, month, day, and where did you happen to hear it?"

"On the nineteenth day of the first month of the ninth year of Tianbao, when Li Xianzhong returned to the court. I heard it in Yanyue Hall. Oh, they are still father and son."

"The nineteenth day of the first lunar month." Xue Bai had been writing down notes, and then asked, "What kind of weather is it like?"

Yang Qixuan finally became impatient and said, "What do you mean by this? Can I still commit perjury?"

"According to what Li Shiniang said, on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month of the ninth year, you went to Qujiang with her for a whole day."

"That's what she said to clear her name."

Xue Bai said in a stern tone: "Let me ask you again, what was the weather like that day?"

This time, Yang Qixuan responded without hesitation: "Sunny day."

"is it?"

Xue Bai was clearly a top scholar, but when it came to interrogating people, he looked more like a veteran of punishment.

At this time, just two words made Yang Qixuan uneasy for no reason.

Yang Qixuan remembered that he had indeed accompanied Li Shiniang to Qujiang around the Lantern Festival. It was not very interesting, so he slept in the hood of the car for half the afternoon.

But I don’t remember whether it was the nineteenth or twentieth day of the first lunar month. It seemed that one of those days was cloudy.

When he thought of this, his heart suddenly tightened, secretly wondering if Xue Bai was deceiving him, right?

He looked at Xue Bai and saw an unfathomable expression on that annoyingly handsome face.

"I don't remember." Yang Qixuan became increasingly impatient.

Xue Bai continued to ask: "Li Shiniang said that it was not Li Xianzhong who conspired with Li Linfu, but An Lushan. This is contrary to your statement. What do you say?"

Yang Qixuan simply leaned over, held Xue Bai's pen with his hand, and whispered: "Can't you understand? If An Lushan rebels, it is impossible for the saint to believe it. The current situation is that Li Xianzhong has defected!"

"That means you admitted to committing perjury?"

"I didn't." Yang Qixuan said: "If you want to know anything, ask the right minister yourself."

Xue Bai let go of the brush he was holding, took another one, dipped it in ink, and actually wrote down Yang Qixuan's words in beautiful handwriting.

This move made Yang Qixuan stunned.

"you!"

He stretched out his hand to grab Xue Bai's book.

Xue Bai grabbed his hand and said, "There is another theory that you admired Li Qiniang, so you gave false evidence to frame the Li family in order to divorce your wife and redeem Li Qiniang, right?"

"Ha." Yang Qixuan sneered: "So that's why you're targeting me, right?!"

Xue Bai didn't answer and stopped recording. He put down his pen and stared at him coldly.

Yang Qixuan became more and more angry and said: "You said you wanted to handle the case under the imperial edict. In fact, it was for the sake of personal love between your children. But I tell you, I am not afraid of you. Don't pretend to be powerful in front of me. You can't do anything to me."

He decided that he had to determine the nature of the matter first. Once the nature of the matter was determined, no one could hold him accountable for framing Li Linfu.

So, he walked a few steps outside the official residence, deliberately raised his voice, and shouted: "Xue Bai! Don't pretend to be handling a case for me. You framed an important official of the imperial court for a woman. You are so ridiculous... "

"Oh!"

What Yang Qixuan never expected was that when he was halfway through his words, Xue Bai suddenly rushed up and punched him hard in the face.

There was severe pain on his face, and he was beaten to the ground. His mouth was sore and he had a strange foreign body sensation.

"You dare to hit... you, you knocked out my teeth..."

When he spoke again, his mouth was filled with blood and his voice was leaking.

Xue Bai rubbed his wrist, stepped forward, lifted Yang Qixuan's collar, and punched him again.

"Oh!"

This punch broke the bridge of Yang Qixuan's nose.

"stop fighting!"

When the surrounding officials saw it, they rushed forward to break up the fight and tried to pull Xue Bai away.

Xue Bai, as expected, had just returned from the battlefield in Nanzhao. No matter how hard they pulled him, he remained unmoved and continued to punch Yang Qixuan. After a few punches, he beat Yang Qixuan until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

He showed the appearance of a general that was not seen in Nanzhao.

Yang Qixuan's eyes were swollen and he couldn't even see the road clearly. He crawled and rolled, and finally got out of Xue Bai's attack range. He vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and spit out the broken teeth.

He was groaning when he heard Xue Bai scold him.

"Swallow it back!"

When others heard this, they didn't know what it meant. When they looked at the broken teeth on the ground, they realized that Yang Qixuan had knocked them out and swallowed them.

"Xue Bai! Don't bully others too much!" Yang Qixuan shouted: "My official position is higher than yours, and you beat Shangguan and you should be exiled two thousand miles away!"

"I am fighting for the Tang Dynasty, and you actually want to bully my woman. If you don't swallow these teeth today, I will never let you go."

Yang Qixuan felt that he had never been so humiliated before, and roared: "You are an enemy of the Hongnong Yang family, you are doomed!"

Hongnong Yang's prestige was beginning to show, and suddenly someone shouted loudly.

"do what?!"

Everyone turned around and saw Chen Xilie walking from the gate of the government office with an awe-inspiring expression.

Yang Qixuan ran two steps quickly and shouted: "Prime Minister Zuo, Xue Bai is going to beat me! Assaulting an official is a serious crime. Please Prime Minister Zuo make the decision for me."

Chen Xilie looked around and immediately saw what was happening, but he actually yelled: "Shut up!"

Yang Qixuan was stunned and said: "Left Prime Minister? Xue Bai is beating people!"

"The team offering prisoners has arrived outside the city. At this time, you are still going to cause trouble?!" Chen Xilie looked solemn and shouted: "Collect them all, that's it!"

Yang Qixuan's eyes widened, not believing that he was beaten in vain.

However, Chen Xilie no longer looked at him, turned around and rushed towards Xue Bai, urging: "What are you still doing here? Get out of the city quickly, the big deal is to sacrifice the prisoners."

"Go here."

Xue Bai agreed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Yang Qixuan, raised his hand, and pointed to the teeth on the ground.

He didn't say a word, but his gestures were extremely intimidating.

Yang Qixuan was actually frightened by this little move and felt guilty in his heart.

~~

Xue Bai remembered that today he was supposed to leave the city to pick up the prisoners' team. He deliberately beat Yang Qixuan at this time. Anyway, he was the hero of Nanzhao's conquest, and no one dared to punish him at this time.

Such behavior is truly arrogant. Xue Bai was proud of this, thinking that he was finally qualified to make the same mistake as Wang Zhongsi.

In short, with this punch, he determined the matter. It was a matter of affection and jealousy between sons and daughters, which could lower Li Longji's vigilance and allow him to find the most suitable opportunity to point the finger at An Lushan...

After leaving the imperial city, I saw people standing on both sides of Zhuque Street, all waiting to see the prisoners.

Outside Chang'an City, Yuan Siyi and a large number of officials lined up to greet him, and the scene was extremely grand.

Li Longji failed to enjoy the Lantern Festival this year with the people, but he finally did it today.

When Xue Bai saw it, he couldn't help but think that the imperial court had given enough glory to the heroes of the Southern Expedition, but it didn't care whether those who came were the real heroes.

Now Wang Zhongsi is still recuperating in Liangzhou. Xue Bai met him when he passed by Liangzhou. He was indeed too ill to walk.

However, everyone in the court did not believe that Wang Zhongsi was really ill. They only thought that he was arrogant based on his achievements.

Xue Bai rushed to the prisoner offering team and saw Xianyu Zhongtong, dressed in shining golden armor, riding a tall horse in front of the team.

I had never seen him so heroic during his time in Nanzhao.

"Xue Lang, come here." Xianyu Zhongtong also saw Xue Bai and waved: "You are just behind me."

Xue Bai was too lazy to go over. The real fighters in this battle, such as Wang Zhongsi, Wang Tianyun, Li Sheng, Qu Huan, Yan Wu and others, were either ill or were left in Jiannan. The person who is in the limelight today is just Xianyu Zhongtong's confidant.

He didn't expose Xianyu Zhongtong's defeat at Longweiguan in front of the emperor. He just knew that Li Longji didn't like to hear it, so there was no need to stay with him.

"I'm ashamed to thank you for your kindness. It's better to go to the back."

"I have something to tell you." Xianyu Zhongtong still waved. When Xue Bai came forward, he leaned slightly over and said, "I heard that An Lushan also sent someone to offer prisoners."

"Yes, Marshal Jie enters through the Mingde Gate, and his people enter through the Chunming Gate, and meet in front of the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City. At that time, the imperial commander will go to the Imperial City to hear Ge Luofeng's apology in person."

"Why?"

Xue Bai asked: "Jie Shuai is asking, why can Ge Luofeng apologize to the saint?"

Xianyu Zhongtong frowned and said, "Why should Zahu sacrifice prisoners with me?"

Xue Bai didn't know what to say. In his opinion, Xian Yu Zhongtong's contribution to Nanzhao and An Lushan's contribution to Khitan were half a pound, and they left problems that could not be solved until the next dynasty.

"The Right Prime Minister has checked, and Zahu is falsely claiming military exploits." Xian Yuzhong said: "We climbed cliffs, walked through poisonous forests, fought bloody battles in Nanzhao, but in the end ended up side by side with these guys, are we worthy of those brothers who died in the battle?"

Xue Bai sighed in agreement, thinking that he was sorry for those who died in the war in too many ways.

Xianyu Zhongtong lowered his voice and said: "The soldiers are dissatisfied, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stop them. You have the favor of the saint and the noble concubine, so you can take care of them more when the time comes." "Commander Jie, don't worry."

Xue Bai understood what this meant. He wanted to use him as a spearman to deal with An Lushan.

He was not unwilling, this was indeed in line with his demands. It just depends on what purpose can be achieved, whether it can really weaken An Lushan's power, or whether it is just a matter of competing for credit and limelight.

After talking about this matter, Xue Bai went straight to the back of the team without waiting for Xianyu Zhongtong to ask him to line up around him.

Ge Luofeng was being held in a prison car, standing feebly. Seeing Xue Bai approaching, her eyes were locked on him and she called out.

"Xue Bai."

Seeing that he had something to say, Xue Bai simply drove his horse to the prison car.

"I will die soon." Ge Luofeng said: "But I think we all hope that Nanzhao can peacefully surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

"is it?"

"I am selfish and rebel because I want to be king and hegemon." Ge Luofeng said: "But I don't want my descendants to follow in my footsteps."

Xue Bai smiled and guessed that if he hadn't saved Wang Zhongsi. Ge Luofeng may have realized his ideal of becoming king and hegemon.

"You are very conscious."

Ge Luofeng said: "You are a smart man, you should know how to make Nanzhao surrender. In addition to fighting, you should also educate. Therefore, I want to ask you to educate Nanzhao."

He was worried that Zheng Hui would not be able to save his grandson, and hoped that Xue Bai could help him. There was no need to explain clearly. At this point, Xue Bai could already understand what he meant.

The team had begun to move forward, and there was not much time left for him.

He was silent for a while, looking up at the majestic Chang'an City Gate, as if he was fascinated.

"Chang'an."

Ge Luofeng suddenly sighed, showing his immense admiration for Chang'an.

"The last time I came here, my father had just been crowned the King of Yunnan, and I went to Hajj on his behalf. Since then, I have never forgotten Chang'an."

"Then you still resist?"

"I can't live in Chang'an. Nanzhao is where I should stay. Chang'an is a place in dreams. But if a person is always in a dream, if he is not asleep, he is dead."

Xue Bai could feel Ge Luofeng's feelings for Chang'an, so he thought, An Lushan must also love Chang'an very much, so if he couldn't get it, he would rather destroy it?

Slowly, the team entered Mingde Gate.

When the prison car passed the city gate, Ge Luofeng said: "Look, I came to the dream and I am about to die."

"Okay, that makes sense."

"I know that I will suffer humiliation and die when I come here." Ge Luofeng said, "Do you know why I didn't commit suicide earlier?"

"Take another look at Chang'an?"

"No. It is to make His Majesty happy. He humiliated me. Only when he is happy will he be able to let my descendants go and stop questioning Nanzhao."

Xue Bai said: "Do you know the saint very well?"

"Even though I'm thousands of miles away, I know His Majesty thoroughly." Ge Luofeng said, "That's why I dare to rebel."

"Huh?" Xue Bai was quite curious about this question and guided him to continue.

"In recent years, it can be seen from the Yunnan Prefecture that the Tang Dynasty is no longer what it used to be."

Ge Luofeng didn't know how to describe his feelings, so he thought about it and said a little thing.

"A few years ago, the Tang army took the salt wells in Anning City in order to use salt to control the Cuan people. At the beginning, they cared about the barbaric people and slowly civilized them. But gradually, the Tang officials only cared about their own interests and also treated the Cuan people. To levy exorbitant taxes. Every time I see them, do you know what they talk about?"

"money."

"Yes." Ge Luofeng said: "What they care most about is how much tribute they can give to His Majesty. How much can they get from it."

From the time he heard "Debao Song" in the fifth year of Tianbao, Xue Bai felt the lively scene of the whole world worshiping Li Longji. It turns out that this trend is so strong in Nanzhao.

"The Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty it used to be." Ge Luofeng said, "I can feel it, so I have the courage to rebel."

As he spoke, he gradually became sad, and finally sighed.

"I fell into the afterglow of the setting sun in the Tang Dynasty."

Xue Bai felt that his metaphor was not appropriate, but he could feel from it that the Tang Dynasty was rapidly declining, and its deterrence on the border was far less than before. Geluofeng rebelled, Abusi rebelled, and the wars against the Khitan and Xi continued. frustrated.

The Anshi Rebellion did not happen suddenly, it was one of many rebellions...

suddenly.

"The Tang Dynasty is victorious!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Suzaku Street erupted in cheers.

When the soldiers returned with great honors, the whole city cheered for them, and the praises came one after another.

Peach blossoms in early April are picked, put in flower baskets, carried by beautiful girls, and sprinkled on the street to the middle of the road.

"Xue Lang!"

The petals fell like rain on Xue Bai's lapel, and he suddenly thought of a poem - the fragrance soaring into the sky penetrates Chang'an.

In front of Xue Bai was a young soldier of Xianyu Zhongtong. This soldier went south from Yizhou and indeed experienced extremely difficult marches and battles. Finally, he enjoyed such an honor, and naturally felt that he deserved it.

He waved to the girls who were throwing flowers, extremely happy. He couldn't help but turn his head and said something to Xue Bai involuntarily.

"I really love Chang'an and the prosperous Tang Dynasty so much."

Xue Bai forced a smile and said: "Yes, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous."

He was thinking, if there is no change, if Xianyu Zhongtong still takes command this time and is defeated by Nanzhao, and tens of thousands of soldiers are buried by the Erhai Sea, will this prosperous age be able to wake up?

Maybe.

No, there is also Yang Guozhong. With his moral character, he must also falsely report his military exploits.

Even if Yang Guozhong had not been there, given Li Longji's virtuous nature of being very happy with his achievements, there would still be others who would falsely report his military exploits. Isn’t this what Anlushan is like today?

The team was almost in front of Zhuque Gate when suddenly, there was a loud roar of gongs and drums from the east. A team came this way, with several large flags fluttering in the wind. On the first banner were the words "Fanyang Jiedu Envoy An Lushan".

The people around cheered and crowded over to see various rare and exotic animals.

"Pegasus, is there a Pegasus this time too?"

"Look! What a beautiful white eagle!"

"..."

Xianyu Zhongtong was originally very arrogant, but when he heard the movement, he was afraid that he would be robbed of the limelight, so he quickly ordered his team to move forward quickly and arrive at Zhuque Gate before Fan Yang's team.

He made progress, but was far less decisive when supporting Wang Zhongsi in Yunnan.

The Jiannan Army received the order and immediately rushed forward.

The servants Yuan Siyi brought to greet them were caught off guard, and there was a chaos.

In the chaos, Xue Bai stood on his horse like an outsider. He raised his head and looked at the top of the Zhuque Gate of the imperial city. He saw that the imperial umbrella was already high and tightly guarded by Jinwu guards.

Others thought of glory and rewards, but what he thought of was Wang Welding.

It was at the top of this city that Wang Wen took off his trousers, raised his head, and shouted to everyone in the world, "They are all wilting!"

Look at how forgetful the world is.

In a blink of an eye, the saint dared to climb the Zhuque Gate again, and the whole city cheered, just to see a few birds sent by Anlu Mountain.

Countless people cannot extricate themselves from indulging in a little bit of fun.

The funny thing is, it was not until nearly two years later, when Xue Bai returned to this place, that he discovered that in the world of drunkenness, only a madman is the most sober.

"The great Tang Dynasty! The great Tang Dynasty!"

The Jiannan Army under Xianyu Zhongtong burst out with an astonishing roar.

They finally got ahead of Fan Yangjun and occupied the best position in front of the Suzaku Gate.

As they deserved, their coach came in person and remanded Ge Luofeng, the biggest traitor today. Of course, they should be at the front.

The prison cart was pushed to the front.

As a loser, Ge Luofeng felt this jubilant scene and had mixed feelings in her heart, so she had no choice but to cry loudly towards the imperial city.

He knew clearly that the more he cried, the happier the saint would be and the better Nanzhao's situation would be.

So, the louder the crying, the louder the laughter around them.

Xue Bai did not step forward, but was still watching from behind, with the whole city laughing and one person crying alone.

In his sight, the figures of Ge Luofeng and Wang Weld overlapped.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If it happens again, who will be the king and who is the madman?

~~

"The saint has arrived!"

With this shout, Li Longji finally arrived at the top of Zhuquemen City in person.

Xue Bai had dismounted and stood under the imperial city wall, feeling bored by the scene of a superior person coming to speak.

He looked around and saw Yang Yuhuan's figure, but it was far away and he couldn't see her face clearly.

Afterwards, Yang Guozhong, who was dressed very grandly, reported on behalf of all the soldiers in the southern expedition.

Li Longji issued an edict to encourage and reward him.

"At that time, there were Ge Luofeng who were ungrateful and had hidden evil intentions. Yang Guozhong, Xianyu Zhongtong, Wang Zhongsi, etc., used their deep plans to lead the commander-in-chief. The wind and dust were quiet, the scouts were safe, and there was no special favor. Which one showed great achievements... "

Xue Bai listened silently and couldn't help but wonder what those colleagues were doing.

Wang Zhongsi should be recuperating in Liangzhou and reading military books every day; Wang Tianyun is probably training troops in Taihe City; Li Sheng and Qu Huan should have arrived in Longyou, and rushed to serve under Ge Shuhan; brothers Tian Shengong and Tian Shenyu Now he is also leading the army in Jiannan...

Thinking about this, after a long time, Li Longji issued an edict and announced the punishment for Ge Luofeng.

There was no capital punishment, just beheading in public display.

In addition, his wives and concubines became singing prostitutes. Ge Luofeng's second wife was the one who, according to him, was insulted by Zhang Qiantuo.

Li Longji's treatment seemed generous, but the implication was that since Tang Dynasty officials insulted Ge Luofeng's wife, causing Ge Luofeng to rebel, it would allow more people to insult Ge Luofeng's wife.

Ge Luofeng had a lot of worries, unlike Wang Wean who didn't care about his family, so he seemed a bit useless. He was grateful to hear this treatment. What he cares about is his descendants and Nanzhao. Li Longji is really generous if he doesn't pursue the matter further.

He received the order to express his gratitude and shouted: "Your Majesty is merciful! I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I will die without any regrets!"

In the midst of these "Your Majesty's mercy", Li Longji once again felt his demeanor as an eternal wise king and was very satisfied.

……

After that, it was Fan Yang's turn to offer prisoners.

Xianyu Zhongtong, who had just been promoted to Jingzhaoyin, originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard that he had to give up his position and let Fan Yangjun come over, his face became stiff.

He had no reaction and ordered to retreat to the west side of the city gate.

"Xuan, Fan Yang's military envoy Sun Xiaozhe came to see and offer prisoners!"

"Let's go! Congratulations to the saint!"

Fan Yang's army then began to line up in front of Zhuque Gate.

The people watching stretched their necks, expecting something new from Hu'er.

Suddenly, several people rushed to the city gate and shouted: "I don't accept it! Fan Yang Jiedushi is simply falsely reporting his military exploits!"

"We have evidence that An Lushan was defeated by the Khitan and falsely claimed his military exploits!"

The onlookers were immediately in an uproar.

Jin Wuwei was caught off guard and quickly stepped forward to maintain order.

However, many soldiers in the Jiannan Army were not happy with this commotion and shouted: "Why should those who falsely report their military exploits let us get out of the way?!"

"I fought with blood for the Tang Dynasty! I will not associate with those who falsely report their military exploits!"

"..."

Seeing this, Xianyu Zhongtong quickly stopped.

However, people in the army inevitably have bad tempers. The generals thought that only children who could scream would get milk.

"What to do?! Stop right away, otherwise military orders will be dealt with!"

After that, he glanced at Yang Guozhong seemingly casually, and then glanced at Xue Bai, indicating that it was time to attack...

　I’m at the China Literature Annual Meeting today, and I’ll tell you about my experience in a few days~~
